Digitek Lawsuits

Recently, a Digitek class action lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey against Digitek’s foreign maker, Actavis Group (“Actavis”). Actavis recalled Digitek, which is a generic version of digoxin, in April this year. The recall was issued because some Digitek batches may have contained tablets that were twice the normal thickness and strength.

The plaintiffs in the Digitek lawsuit are seeking compensation for their injuries as well as medical monitoring in case they experience future health problems. In addition to Actavis, the Digitek lawsuit also names Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and UDL Laboratories, companies that distributed the defective Digitek, as defendants.

According to the Digitek lawsuit, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued a warning letter to Actavis back in August 2006 for failing to provide periodic safety reports at its oral dose manufacturing plant in Little Falls, New Jersey. The lawsuit alleges that some of the defective double-strength Digitek came out of that plant. In addition, the lawsuit claims that an FDA inspection in early 2006 revealed six potentially serious and unexpected adverse drug events dating back to 1999 for products that included generic Digitek, that were not reported to the agency.
